Dungeons 2 puts players in the role of a Dungeon Lord, building and defending an underground lair while sending monstrous minions out to conquer the overworld. It blends dungeon-management with strategy elements across both underground and overworld phases.

Its tongue-in-cheek humor and villain's-eye perspective set it apart from typical hero-focused RPGs, letting players enjoy the mischief of running a dungeon full of traps and creatures dedicated to causing trouble above ground.
